This is a simplistic, physical damage variation of the many Seismic Slam builds on DFans. There is a fair amount of synergy with the skills and items that help make this build viable for GR30+. Mostly, I wanted to make a build that didn't focus on "rabbit gameplay" but still delivered a good amount of damage to GR Bosses... but let's get into it.

Fury of the Vanished Peak is the star here. It reduces Seismic Slam's fury costs to a level even lower than that of Hammer of the Ancients and also increases its damage by up to 30%. The Might of the Earth set makes Leap your main fury generator and provides supplemental damage from Earthquake and triggers Strongarm Bracers' extra damage bonus. The Immortal King's set with Ancient's Fury provides extra fury generation from your permanent Ancients so you can keep spamming away with Seismic Slam. Haunt of Vaxo is a good burst of supportive damage from clones, but if you have a Dovu Energy Trap instead that will also improve your stun duration from Leap. Not as good as Vaxo, but will suffice.

Build Guide

The synergy in this builds is pretty decent. If you look at the skills and legendary affixes you can see how it all works. Let's start with the basics.

Cave-In pulls all enemies toward you, which helps stun them easier with Death From Above. There already is three procs! When you pull enemies in, the Strongarm Bracers kick in for up to 30% more damage for 5 seconds. If you pull 3 or more enemies, Brawler's 20% damage kicks in and then if you land on them with Death From Above, two clones are summoned to bash some skulls. These clones can cast a variety of different Barbarian skills. One of my favorites is Ground Stomp - Wrenching Smash, which can prolong the damage bonus from Strongarm Bracers.

The Rumble rune is a physical rune for your main attraction via FotVP. In theory, this is also the highest possible damage rune for Seismic Slam. Its very possible to hit targets with the Rumble effect since many will be stacked up and stunned/distracted with Ancients. Spam away when you've got them all together.

Warcry helps provide extra mitigation as well as some extra fury when needed. Battle Rage increases you AoE damage via Bloodshed. These are your strong backbone. Always have these active!

Taeguk is perfect for the build because of Seismic Spamming.
Bane of the Powerful is just down right necessary for GRifts.
Pain Enhancer is boosted by +% Physical on your gear and allows for faster Seismic Spamming at Rank 25.

I hope you try out the build and if you have any suggestions or recommendations, please leave a comment, as this build is very new yet!
